Stocks to Buy in February. Part III.


Serve Robotics (SERV)

Entry: Unlock

Price target: 24.00-24.50

Second PT: Unlock

Serve Robotics is a small company aiming to disrupt a massive industry. The eight-year-old company specializes in self-driving delivery by designing and developing robots that operate in public spaces. Currently, their robots primarily handle food delivery, but this is expected to expand into other forms of delivery in the future. The company has secured major customers, including Walmart, Uber Eats, and 7-Eleven, along with many other notable names—suggesting a promising future for its technology.

Serve Robotics already has significant backers. With Uber’s support and Nvidia holding a 10% stake, the company is poised for major expansion this year. After a successful first year in Los Angeles, Serve plans to deploy 2,000 more AI-powered sidewalk delivery robots, potentially transforming the future of food and package deliveries.

While financial analysis is typically a key factor in evaluating a company, in Serve Robotics' case, it is not yet a primary concern. As a small company with big ambitions, its investors are more focused on partnerships, innovation, and long-term potential rather than current financials. Serve presents an exciting opportunity for risk-tolerant investors looking to capitalize on the world’s shift toward robotics.

Please note that this may take beyond this week to come around to price targets.

Expedia Group (EXPE)

Entry: Unlock

Price target: 217.00-220.00

Second PT: Unlock

Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE) surged to a new 52-week high last week after delivering a standout earnings report that exceeded both revenue and profit expectations. The online travel giant credited stronger-than-expected travel demand for its success, with core consumer brands—Expedia.com, Hotels.com, and VRBO—leading the charge. A strong U.S. dollar further fueled demand, encouraging American travelers to explore Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Financially, the company delivered impressive results. Quarterly revenue climbed to $3.18 billion, up from $2.89 billion in the same quarter last year, while earnings per share (EPS) soared to $2.39—well above the $2.10 consensus estimate. For the full year, Expedia generated $13.7 billion in revenue, surpassing 2023’s $12.84 billion. Even more notably, net income nearly doubled, showcasing the company’s ability to expand margins and drive profitability.

Perhaps the most significant takeaway from the report was Expedia’s decision to reinstate its dividend—a major milestone in its post-pandemic recovery. The company had suspended dividends during COVID-19 amid travel restrictions and a sharp revenue decline, which saw a 57% drop to $5.2 billion in 2020. Expedia’s ability to rebound, not only recovering lost ground but surpassing pre-pandemic revenue levels, highlights its resilience and adaptability in an evolving travel landscape.

The post earnings jump suggests that bullish investors liked what they saw, and if they gap up holds, it may act as a catalyst for a multi-week/month rally. While Expedia’s financials do have room to improve, those focused on the charts alone may find an opportunity for a rally continuation to the price targets listed above.

Nu Holdings (NU)

Entry: Unlock

Price target: 16.00-16.50

Second PT: Unlock

Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU), the parent company of Nubank, has captured the attention of top investors, including Warren Buffett and Cathie Wood, thanks to its rapid expansion in digital banking across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. Often compared to SoFi but for Latin America, Nu has positioned itself as a dominant force in the region’s financial sector.

The company is adding millions of new users annually, solidifying its foothold in Latin America. In Brazil alone, 56% of adults are now Nu customers—a staggering rise from zero less than a decade ago. This impressive growth trajectory is poised to extend across Latin America’s 650 million residents. Recently, Nu announced potential plans to relocate its headquarters from the Cayman Islands to the United Kingdom—a strategic move that could pave the way for expansion into European and North American markets. 

Since debuting on the market in 2018, Nu has grown its revenue from $300 million to $7.01 billion in 2023, with 2024 projections expected to set another record. Nu’s stock has surged more than 40% in the past 12 months, bringing its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 37x. However, when factoring in forward earnings, its forward P/E drops to 20x—comfortably within the healthy 15-25 range. For investors willing to endure short-term volatility, Nu presents an opportunity to get in early on a fintech powerhouse with the potential to reshape digital banking in emerging markets.
